Ok, got over another wave of celebrations...We had a sumptious reunion dinner with Helena's parents, sis and family. We had super expensive yu sheng! We ordered a $40 salmon yu sheng from a chinese restuarant, added our own lobster meat (we bought 2 live lobster from Canning Vale Market). We also ordered roast duck and roast meat from the restaurant. Helena also prepared some char siew. For dessert, we had Kyrene's birthday cake.
Auntie Daphne and Auntie Christine sent Kyrene a birthday present all the way from Singapore. Kyrene was very happy. She brought her present along with her on the trip. The other present she got was her favourite. Nintendo DS game - Cooking Mama. Throughout the trip, her Nintendo DS keep her, Justina and Jesmond occupied during the long drive.
We drove down south to Albany on 1st day of CNY, which happens to coincide with Australian Day (so it is a public holiday here). We stayed in Albany for 1 night in Albany Gardens Holiday Park. The next day, after some sight seeing in Albany, we proceeded to Pemberton. We stayed at our favourite place - Lavender and Berry Farm, for 2 nights. It was a chance for the urban kids to experience farmstay. They tried their hands at chopping wood and using a fire place in the house. After Pemberton, we went to Margaret River to stay for 1 night. There, we stayed at Sunflower Animal Farm at the recommendation of Helena's friend. The kids again had lots of fun here and wished we had stayed there for 2 nights instead of 1.
A pity that holidays always so short...
